Arsenal transfer news: Alexis Sanchez wanted by Inter Milan with Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Verratti and Marquinhos
The Gunners forward has been lined up as part of an ambitious triple swoop as future hangs on tricky contract extension
ALEXIS SANCHEZ is being targeted by Inter Milan as part of an ambitious triple raid.
Reports in Italy claim the Arsenal forward is wanted at the San Siro along with Paris Saint-Germain pair Marco Verratti and Marquinhos.
Sanchez is believed to be unsettled at the Emirates after failing to agree a contract extension.
The Chilean has just 18 months remaining on his current deal and is believed to be holding out for wages worth £200,000-a-week.
There is an offer on the table from China for double that amount, but Sanchez’s head could now be turned by the riches on display in Italy.
Inter splashed the cash on a number of big names last summer following their takeover by a Chinese consortium and are now looking to make further progress in the transfer window.
claims Sanchez is wanted to join captain Mauro Icardi in a fearsome attack, with Verratti targeted as a midfield partner for Joao Mario.
